The Opera.

The largest audience ever in the Metro
politan assembled last night to hear Emma
Abbott in Gounod's masterpiece, Faust"
1t was as brilliant an assemblage as the city
can command. There was not an untaken
seat in the house. The new face was that
of Michelena, a tenor of sweetness of tone
and correctness of method, though of
limited power, scarcely equal, indeed, to
the trying role of Faust. Miss Abbott
achieved an unqualified success-her Mar
guerite was finished and artistic perform
ance-and in the third act notably she
was equal to the sentiment of the
text and that delicacy of handling of
the score absolutely essential to the pres
ervation of the exquisite fancy plucked
from the supremest work of Goethe's
genius. The chorus of twenty-four voices
was notably strong, prompt and correct in
its work. The opera was finely mounted,
and throughout was sung with q smooth
ness and effectiveness that won the warm
commentator of the auditors. Mr.. Brod
erick's Mephistopheles was thoroughly
good Liece of work, dramatically and
lyrIcally viewed, and Lizzie Annandale's
Siebel, with its one song, an the Language
of Love-" was so tenderly rendered, and
with such feeling, as to win her an ex-
ceedingly warm encore.
In the afternoon Miss Abbott appeared
in the sparkling comedy opera "The Car
nival of Venice" light musically, but
affording her, together with Mr.. Allen and
Miss Annandale, opportunity for some
capital comedy work, and which they
availed of fully. AT that entertainment
she introduced the Lullaby song from
Erminie, giving it with delicacy and feel
ing that testified anew to her fine style and
lyrical ability.
The season here, t5ough brief, was one
of the most successful in the history of
the stage in Sacramento. Emma Abbott,
however much the question of her place in
song may divide the critics, no one will
question is a popular artist, and wins
public sympathy and commentator where
others utterly fail. The company goes
hence to San Jose, thence to Portland and
home to New York by the northern route.
In the spring Miss Abbott and her hus-
band, Mr.. Wetherill, go to Europe, where
the lady is to again enter upon study under
the best masters, and promises return to
California the year following.

The Tax Legal.

On Tuesday the Supreme Court rendered
its decision in the case of Comstock vs.
Yolo county-an action brought to recover
money which was paid Dy the plaintiff
under protest to prevent the sale of his
property in satisfaction of an alleged illegal
tax. The case went against the plaintiff in
the lower Court On August 81. 1884 the
Board of Supervisors of Yolo county or
dered the levy of a tax for the repair of the
roads in Road District No. /, the amount to
be raised being $4,000. An election was
held and the proposition carried on Sep
TENDER 10, 1884 The rate of taxation was
levied at 81 cents ON the 500. and the
plaintiff s tax amounted to S35 80. Plain
tiff and others objected to the tax because,
they claimed, it was to be used maiLly in
repairing levees instead of roads, the work
to be done with it including the building
OF bulkhead above the town of Washing
ton This bulkhead failed to Withstand
the next winters high water and has not
been repaired since. The Supreme Court
found that the levy and its mode of proceed
ure was authorized by the County Govern
ment Act.

THE HOSPITAL WATER WoRKs.-M. r.
Rose has just completed his contract for
putting large Worthington pump in posi-
ton at the County Hospital to supply that
Institution with water. 1t is quite pom
derous piece of machinery. two or three
times the capacity of the old one, and rests
upon very substantial concrete founda-
ton. 1t forces water into the large tank,
which stands upon framework eighty feet
from the ground, and pressure is thus OBJ
tanned sufficient for domestic, fire or any
other purpose. Another tank, forty feet
from the ground, supplies water for the
stockyards and for irri eating purposes, and
will supplement the big tank in case of
emergency.

PHILADELPHIA. July 12-Manager Fogel was
compelled to pitch Morrison to-day, account
of Boyle and Healy still being incapacitated
Morrison did admirably I'D to the seventh
inning, when Seery gave the Pniladelphias three
runs by mufing fly. Then Morrison went to
pieces, and in the eighth he was batted for five
runs. Seery really lost the CANA In point
of brilliant fielding on both sides. it the
finest game seen here this season. The Indian
apolis club reached this city in bad shape. Boyle
is laid ND with cramps, but tonight feels better,
and will probably pitch tomorrow Glasscoeks
right hand is almost useless. The injury from
the cane blow he received in Indianapolis in the
Arundel escapade, is growing worse; added to
this. he had his hand split between the third and
fourth fingers in the Washington game last Sat
urday, necessitating his wearing
rubber bandage around it. and yester-
day he had the tip of his finger
tor off in catching a thrown ball at second
base. Healey's is almost useless. In
pitching Fridays game in Washington without
wearing shirt he caught cold in his shoulder,
and he is suffering great pain. Mr.. Fogel to-
day sent for Professor Hummell to attend him.
To-day Shomberg nearly had his thumb torn
off catching badly thrown ball, and tonight
he is sitting in his room bathing it in warm
water. He may possibly DO able to play
tomorrow. Myers has lame arm caused by
sliding to a base in Washington. when
he nearly dislocated his shoulder. He will, how
ever, catch tomorrow. Added to all these mis-

AN OBJECTION TO LAMAR.
His Elevation Would Be an Undeserved Conn
pliment to Mississippi.

pliment Mississippi.
Philadelphia American.
1t is generally understood that the President
has made up his mind to give the vacant
place the Supreme Bench to Secretary
Lamar. This regret exceedingly. Not
that Mr.. Lamar has not been ono of
the most satisfactory members of Mr..
Cleveland's Cabinet. He stands much higher
to-day in popular regard than when he
was selected for the secretaryship of the inte-
rior, in spite of some decided blunders. Neither
do we find fault with the elevation Of Souther-
ner who was in the the wrong side The
and navy is enough, without keeping them off
the bench. If Mr. Cleveland had selected
kentuckiau a Missourian for the place. il
would not have mattered on which side he had
fought, If he were competent otherwise. But to
elevate 1.-The favorite son" of State so deeply
stained by public dishonesty is Mississippi is
q blunder apart from any question of his politi-
cal or war record. The Supreme Bench is the
last safeguard of public integrity. Its position
and action in this respect never were of such
Importance as at the present moment The
decisions in the Virginia and North Carolina
cases probably, are but the first steps in
course which may redeem the honor OF the
country by obliging the States to pay their debts
as fully as the Nation does. But every such ap-
pointment as this of Mr.. Lamar weakens the
court in its dealing with this great question. We
do not know that Mr.. Lamar ever was con-
nected actively with the reputation of the ob;-
of these took place before the war, whom the
Secretary was not much in public life. But he.
like jefferson Davis. has purchased his popular
ity by silence. Had he said a word IN criticism.
he never would have been sent by Mississippi to
sit in the national Senate.

THE SOLDIERS MONUMENT.
Commissioners Begin the Preliminary Part
of Their Work with Favorable Prospects

The Soldiers Monument Commissioners now
have an Office in one Of the rooms formerly oc-
cupied by the Governor in the State building.
Their secretary will be there daily hereafter, and
on Mondays and Tuesdays the president of the
commissioners can be found there. Advertise
ments for designs appear in the morning dailies.
and in addition to that Secretary Gookins has
drafted comprehensive circular Of instructions
which is to be sent to every architect
of standing in this country and Europe. The
circular defines the character of the work to be
done aud gives a detailed description of the
physical character of the site in which the mon
ument is to be erected. It enters largely into
technical matters and describes the manner in
which the award is to be made A design. to be
acceptable be for q memorial hall mon
ument or a memorial hall and a monument
combined It is especially noted that the statue
of Governor Morton shall be prominently placed
in the monument or hall All designs to be
in the hands of .he commissioners by noon of
December II, this year, when
they will be opened and submitted
to examination by board of experts. who
are to act in an advisory capacity with the COM
missioners. but the award will rest solely upon
the decision of the latter. No plans or designs
that have before been entered flor competition in
this country Europe or photographs engrav-
ings or other reproductions OF designs OF exist
ing or projected monuments will be received
The designs to secure attention by this board
must be entirely original
Secretary Goodkins thinks tho commits
sioners have very full power under
the law. "There is in this enterprise
an excellent chance, he said, ''to construct
a fine work Of art In cases of this kind COM
missioners and architects generally hamp-
cred by conditions imposed by well-meaning
Legislators who do not know how those condi-
tions affect art. The law under which work
has such conditions. Tho commissioners are
made responsible for the artistic excellence of
the monument as we'll as for its
mechanical construction. Architects, though.
will be slow to compete for the work They
dislike to spend months Of labor and $1,000 or
$1,000 in preparing plans that must run the
risk Of rejection. Our principal work now is to
interest the architects in the enterprise. It can
be done, and think before December we will
have the best American and Europesn archi-
tects competing for the prize. Already we
have had inquiries in general way from several
of the profession very fine monument
be erected for 1925. 600. the amount the commits
sioners will have available. That sum ought to
give us monument to surpass any work Of the
kind in this country. But the 1925, 900 will
doubtless be- increased by further contributions
from the G. A r., and the several counties OF
the State. The preliminares of the work
carried on under the most promising conditions"
